The kitchen project is always developed in two directions combined with each other: the first concerns design, design of facades and countertops, second - functionality and practical application. This means that the kitchen set should be as beautiful as possible and convenient, with rationally located shelves and boxes. Systematized storage in the kitchen is real art, developing from traditional principles and unexpected ideas that help organize workspace.

Once a very long time, the first shelf appeared, then the closet, then the headset turn came. The development of the storage system was gradually - so now it is customary to call a set of cabinets, shelves, drawers, drawn and unfolding elements of the built-in type.

Modern kitchen storage systems are sets of furniture or headset with thoughtful "stuffing". For example, the best way A bookcase is glazed racks, shelves or showcases with placed row books. The binding of each book is on the ferris, so it is easy to find and get it. For kitchen modules, such a system is not suitable, as various utensils, devices, products that are stored there, differ in the appointment, shape and sizes.

Improved modules for products

Near the washing, there should be a dryer for dishes (especially if there is no dishwasher), near the oven - a compartment for the opposings, forms for baking and other culinary attributes. Always at hand - a set of knives (each has its own specification), cutting boards, Different plates. Even frying pan should lie separately, not to mention napkins, duty tablecloths, sets of festive candles.

Pans, frying pan, covers - in one compartment

The main task of the designer engineer is to analyze the possibilities of furniture modules and systematize the location of the offices so that the owners can comfortably use the contents of the cabinets, cook food, tow the table.

Comfortable kitchen Make quality accessories and fittings

Such different shelves

Depending on the type of shelving, the phrase "put on the shelf" acquires various meanings: hide far in the corner, it is convenient to place together with similar objects or napping on the open space. Consider what types of shelves will be useful in the kitchen room.

For the placement of decorative elements, niches and shelves are provided in the wall

Open cabinets for beautiful dishes

In the built-in wall structures or buffets there are shelves without doors, absolutely open to the review. They are not customary to put banks with cereals or "working" utensils, as they are used as a place for decorative decorations, souvenirs and beautiful items that exhibit on the table during the holidays.

Parallel Located long shelves with beautifully arranged table objects resemble a museum exposition

Large compartments are suitable as container for equipment used both daily and from time to time. For example, a bulk open niche located at the belt level is a comfortable place to install a microwave oven. Open racks under the bar counter - successful storage for kitchen combine, mixer, blender, meat grinders. The technique can always be easy to get, without looking into distant corners, use to use and put in place.

On open shelves, you can accommodate fine household appliances

Cutlery, cups or plates used daily to store in open places Not accepted - they can get dust or splashes. But ceramic pots, jugs, vases, souvenir plates on stands are a kind of thematic decoration, and if the subject arrived from a distant trip - and a reminder of a remarkable vacation.

Transparent and translucent showcases

For the glass we put beautiful cutlery, crystal, porcelain coffee pairs - that is, dishes, which is and decorative decoration, and an indicator of wealth in the family. For family settings that are inherited and having material value, separate buffets are installed in the dining area. Dear dishes are getting in rare cases when the reason is really worthy - on the anniversary, the birth of a child, a wedding.

Classic kitchen with inherent glass hinged cabinets

Glazed showcases are characteristic of economical heads. It is better when the glass is not completely transparent, but a translucent or matte - even a simple tea service acquires mysterious outlines. Stack of plates, cups with forks or a pair of saucepan better hide into the closet, bags with pasta and packs with croups should also be stored outside the doors.

Unusual combination Metal parts and matte glass

Considering that open space is not taken to clutter various objects, glazed shelves and racks without doors are better to use for the design of spacious kitchens and dining rooms.

Where "hide" closed shelves

Some of the most filled systems - designs with closed compartments. They provide the maximum storage organization in the kitchen of dishes, products and related items. Here are some advantages of cabinets with doors:

• in the closed space, you can arrange any items, regardless of size, form or destination;
• it is not necessary to adhere to a certain order (the pots can be arranged as you like, ranks or on the principle of matryoshka);
• behind the doors it is easy to hide too bright or old objects that do not fit into the interior (festive napkins, baking molds, sachets with seasonings, biscuits boxes).

The space closed from the eye is the repository of most of the kitchen utensils, dishes and products. In this regard, when designing compact kitchen models, wall and floor cabinets with doors prefer.

One of the storage options for covers

Single shelves can also be equipped with technical zones, such as a place under the sink. Pipes or siphon bypass using a tricky prefabricated design, as the next photo.

If there are no ready-made shelves, similar to this, you can make some effort and make a similar product with your own hands.

Retractable systems are much more convenient for deep lockers with hinged doors.

Boxes: species, sizes, purpose

It is difficult to present a modern modular design without convenient drawers that provide the ability to quickly find and remove the required object. For example, from the usual box for spoons and forks, which is right under the table top, you can quickly get cutlery.

Cutlery box is equipped with trays to make it convenient to group the same type of objects.

By design, the boxes can be divided into next species:

• horizontal;
• vertical.

Horizontal, in turn, are divided into frontal and angular. Frontal - these are conventional boxes characteristic of linear models. They have a rectangular or square shape, can be very small (for spices) and quite bulk (for a saucepan).

Volumetric retractable modules for a saucepan

To maintain order in horizontal structures, separators, trays, special forms are often used. Some products initially make perforated, such as bins for vegetables from IKEA. Potatoes or onions can be taken, without removing from the mesh containers, and directly in them to produce the necessary actions - to clean, wash, dry.

Containers for vegetables and fruits

Corner modules are good for kitchen heads in the form of the letter G or P. They provide access to hard-to-reach places. It is quite difficult to reach the corner zone, while it is very convenient to use retractable modules. They can be removed autonomously, one, or all together when they leave the chain, one by one.

Stylish modern version of the corner cabinet

Vertical solutions are ideal for aligning bottles with wine, vegetable oil, vinegar. Narrow, hollow inside the design smoothly leave the cabinet and open full access to their contents. In addition to bottles in boxes for dishes in the kitchen, boxes and cans with bulk products are stored, knockers and cooks, spice sets.

Cleaning I. detergents You can also place in separate vertical modules.

How to use deaf place

We have already mentioned the boxes, but this is just one way to use the most inaccessible places. There are a number of others, not less interesting decisions. For example, the arrangement of the lower part of the headset, the floor of the floor, where the decorative plank is usually located. Convenient frames on wheels, decorated with the same decorative panel, turn the space under the cabinets into the utility zone for vegetables, textiles or empty cans.

Such a decision will surely interest homemade pets

There is another place to which little attention is paid - the zone under the tabletop. All ideas are reduced to the installation of 1-2 flat boxes under cutlery or covers. They can be replaced by a comfortable retractable board for cutting vegetables or meat - it is easy to save the useful workplace, placing foods or pans on it.

Instead of a cutting board, you can design a full-fledged mobile table, which, if necessary, quickly push or hide in place. It is suitable for cooking dishes, and for quick lunches alone, that is, it will be useful in cases where you do not need to cover a large dining table.

For corner and front kitchens, a variety of retractable modules have been created, which are very convenient to use. Thanks to ergonomic designs, you do not need to bend and try to get to the rear wall of the furniture - it is enough to pull the handle.

Similarly, trays for vegetables, retractable urns, holders for storing a saucepan and pan in the kitchen.

All for comfort: additional features

When it is necessary to draw up a project for a small room, the most original ideas. For example, instead of a decorative panel above the desktop, called kitchen apron, You can install a perforated chipboard. Over the entire surface of the panel in checkers, holes are drilled in which pins and hooks are easily inserted. On hooks you can spend glasses for forks and spoons, tanks for detergents, towels, spice sets, knives sets.

Perforated panel in the sink area

Realing system is a modern stylish analog of the wall with hooks. Despite the seeming primitiveness, this is a pretty functional manufacturer of useful kitchen trifles. On metal crossbars attached to the wall, shelves are located for plates, tanks for seasoning, glasses for instruments, containers for detergents and sponges.

Save space by rails

Some of the useful things and dishes can be placed on the back of the door. It is enough to attach several hooks or a basket to make another convenient and affordable place. If you can fix the magnetic panel on the inside of the door, then it can be used for storing knives.

Comfortable flat stand for cutting board

Suspended Realing Stand for Kitchen Board

Instead of drawers and retractable shelves, you can use wicker baskets that are perfectly combined with wooden details.

Features of storage of products

The storage of products are subject to the same requirements as to the dishes - they should be nearby, not far from the working area. It is better to place objects on the mezzanine, rarely used, and boxes, bags and cans with croups, pasta and seasonings need to be kept near the slab.

Spices - always at hand

Popular spice packing is small paper bags or sets of beautiful jars together with the holder. The second option is usually acquired as a gift, and we buy multicolored bags in large quantities And just fold into containers or baskets. This is not the most convenient solution, because finding the right seasoning is not easy, and it is problematic to use a package for filling problematic.

Comfortable shelves on the cabinet door

Special packaging properties will help special containers - small metal, porcelain or glass jars installed in a prominent place, a special shelf or stand. There is a suspended rail module designed specifically for seasonings. If there are many more, it is better to highlight a separate vertical drawer, which is mounted on the side of the desktop.

Vertical Bottle Box and Can

Stylish metal banks are fixed to magnetic stands or directly to the refrigerator. Holes in the lids are located so that with lateral position, the powders or mixture of finely chopped herbs are not falling out of tanks.

Some jars for spices have beautiful design and serve additional means Stylization of the room. There are sets of "under ancient", simple glass jars, emphasizing the country style, or vice versa, modern devices "mills", capable of sticking peppers, ginger or cinnamon in powder.

Working area with food compartments

They are fixed directly on the apron or installed on the tabletop along the wall.

Boxes - Comfort for Vegetables

Most of the vegetables, independently grown in the country, are stored in caissons located on country sites or in garages. However, it is not possible to ride each time the city is possible, so some of the vegetables are trying to keep at home, close to the plate or on the balcony. There are also products purchased in the store.

Retractable wooden compartments for fruits and vegetables

Some vegetables preserve their properties in warm, rather than in the cold, therefore part of the compartments are removed for them. kitchen headset. At Luka and garlic, pre-remove the excess husk, so that there is no garbage, potatoes are carefully wash. The best place Storage of vegetables in the kitchen recognized horizontal boxes and retractable baskets. If only shelves are available, you can use plastic ventilation containers.

Wicker baskets filled with autumn gifts

A good solution for country styles and Provence

Indoors in the rustic-style bow or garlic can be stored traditional way - "braids" suspended against the wall. Bundles of dried herbs and clay pots will complement the picture.

Long "braids" onion

To fold the beets, carrots or potatoes into open containers to create a designer exposure - not the best idea. Vegetables quickly deteriorate and lose their appetizing look. To this end, it is better to use fruits or their units.

Sort and Storage System Tandem 4

Banks and containers for bulk products

The habit of buying cereals is inherent in many hostesses, but it is impossible to leave them in packages or cardboard boxes. Small bugs penetrate inside the unreliable container, and the product becomes unsuitable for eating. The same thing happens with ground coffee, flour and even salt - harmful insects leave traces of vital activity, and sometimes settling with whole colonies. To prevent the appearance of bugs and worms, cereals and pasta are packaged by hermetic tanks with dense lids.

Product containers of different sizes

The easiest option is a transparent glass jar with a metal or plastic lid. It fits perfectly into the overall composition, if it is in a prominent place, and demonstrates its contents, which is extremely convenient for use. If in the glass container decompose orange and green lentils, purple beans, yellow millet, brown buckwheat, it turns out a magnificent kitchen decor.

Glass cans with comfortable covers

Metal containers, the main quality of which are also well-known, also proven themselves. There are more expensive options from porcelain or cheap - from plastic. The opaque walls of the cans must be decorated with a sticker with the inscription, otherwise the search for the desired ceremonies turn into "Gay". Jars set on the shelves in wall cabinets or in retractable modules.

In order not to bother with stickers, you can buy metal jars with transparent lids for accommodation in the lower tier drawer

Turn kitchen utensils to art objects

Almost any kitchen objects or products can be turned into decorative parts by placing them in the appropriate environment. We have already mentioned onion "braids" and glass banks that are capable of decorating the interior, but there are other curious solutions related to the storage of products or dishes.

Beautiful rustic style composition suitable for country interior

Country style offers great opportunities for the embodiment of the ideas of this kind, because it is for him that the open arrangement of utensils and dishes is characterized.

main feature Kitchens - Colored dishes

Dining plates previously painted and put on the shelves so that the picture was visible well. Tradition has been preserved to this day.

Rustic Classic - Open Shelves for Plate

Shelves on the windows, sets of clay dishes, suspended structures for pan and buckets above the stove island - you can come up with any composition that will emphasize the style of the room.

Storage systems never happen much, especially in the kitchen. Where to hide the pan, how to store vegetables, and how to achieve visual order in the zone of culinary experiments? We share useful ideas!

Storage of vegetables

Many mistaken and ignorance stored vegetables in the refrigerator or on the balcony, and then they think why potatoes quickly germinate, the carrots dry out, and the bow rotes. And all before the banal simply! Vegetables, like other foods require correct conditions Storage. How to provide them in a small kitchen?

The easiest way out - to equip several kitchen jackets Specially under the storage of vegetables. Pick up the size of the furniture baskets or containers (now in household and dishwashes of their great variety). Alternative option will be wicker baskets from the vine, in them vegetables and fruits retain freshness, beautiful appearance And good taste properties.

With proper storage, potatoes can fly from 2 weeks to 2-3 months (in no case cannot be stored in the refrigerator), carrots will continue for 3 weeks, the onions can be stored in this way up to 3-4 weeks.

Remember that the place where vegetables are stored should be well ventilated and located away from the plate, ovens and heating radiators. Ideal - in the pantry or built-in kitchen penalty.

Storage of bulk products

Often the culprits of disorder in the kitchen cabinets are boxes and bags with croups. First, they occupy a lot of space, and secondly, the space is raised simply. To fix the situation, sufficiently suspect porridge, flour and sugar in glass jars or plastic containers.

Very convenient to use vessels with special valves. Through them, midges, mol and moisture do not penetrate into bulk products. Often, such valves are equipped with dispensers, with their help it is easy to pour a barrel from the vessel when cooking.

Cutlery

Store spoons and forks in one pile - not very a good idea! Divide all cutlery (it is better to come up for knives at all another place for storage, not next to other objects so that they do not fill up and do not rust). Carefully and stylishly storing storage systems with individual cells, you can buy ready-made options or make plywood partitions yourself in a drawer. It is desirable to store the parchment paper or a soft fabric that will be absorbed by the excess moisture. It is better to lay in the box already dry and dried with a towel of a spoon and forks, since dried water drops on the dishes will look not very attractive.

Pans, pans, skewers

A good hostess always has a lot of kitchen utensils, including a saucepan, pan, schillies. By the way, we noticed that many of these items are equipped with a hole at the end of the handle, and not just like that. It is necessary in order to hang hookers, in Europe, this is a fairly common storage option of dishes.
Another question - where to install those hooks? There are several options: on the rails near the working area, on the wall at the slab or sink. You can also hang on the wall decorative metal grid and equip it with hooks. This storage option looks at least the original, and very practical. It allows you to unload kitchen cabinets and instantly bring orders in the kitchen. Plus, during the preparation of a particular dish, it is not long to look for the desired dishes.

Walls to help

Not always the sizes of the kitchen allow you to place a full-fledged number of cabinets for storing kitchen utensils. What to do in this case? Do not despair and use the walls! For these purposes, even one small. It can set hooks, rails, narrow shelves, install a plywood board with holes, magnetic holders. Here the pans, skewers, spices, cereals, halves, shovels, snipers and other items of kitchen utensils will be perfectly located.

The kitchen is a place where there are always a lot of things, and often lacks space for storage. How would you try to minimize the number of household appliances, dishes and products long storage, it will not be possible to do without them, and therefore, it is worth thinking about the organization of functional storage areas in the kitchen and apply to this a fair share of smelts and designer fantasy.

We have already written about, and in this article collected specific advice on how to solve the issue with the organization of the storage area.

Use the vertical space

Even if there are not enough free meters, the walls remain at your disposal. There are plenty of interesting and practical devices for vertical placement of things on the walls or directly in the work area on the apron.

Use vertical surface, option from minacciolo

A variety of small shelves can be placed over the dining table and on the walls, and over the table top, fasten the metal barrel-rayl, which can be hung on almost anything. The charm of such a design is obvious: items do not occupy cabinets and a worktop, while being in sight. Filling can be poured purely individually: hooks for lightweight spoons and cooks, shelves for spices, baskets for household chemicals, rods for paper towels, etc.

Council: For storing knives or jackets with spices having metal covers, many use magnetic overlays, which also allows you to significantly save free space.

Use boxes functionally

Golden rule: you want everything to fit, fold things neatly, fully confirmed in the kitchen. Each subject in little space Must be, a clearly defined place.

Council: on the rolossover Doors of any open locker can hang the grid for storage or to build an additional narrow, stationary shelf for spices or flat objects.

Extra Shelf for Siematic Cabinet Doors

If possible, try to use shelves with a system of advanced brackets, as they greatly facilitate access to any corner of the cabinet or shelf, and therefore make it possible to maximize them. They are especially relevant for corner cabinets and spaces under a sink, which is usually used only half.

To save space, use spinning elements and stands, Snaidero

Do not neglect non-standard furniture

Where there is not enough space for full cabinets, there may be some space for a narrow extendable locker or almost flat shelf. The retractable cabinet-penalty is convenient to use for storing spices, sunflower oil, cutting boards and other utensils, and culinary books or plates will be completely placed on flat wall shelves.

Narrow hinged shelves from Ronda Design

In addition, a large space for storing large objects give corner cabinets, if equipped with their extending brackets, as well as flat retractable drawers, which are usually placed under the oven. They can accommodate not only additional transversions, but also a lot of other items.

Extending brackets for deep cabinets

Memo: Any secluded corner inside the cabinet can be equipped with a small bracket, mounted shelf or stand for vertical placement of items, thus engage in a maximum.

Use jars and containers

Spices, sauces, cereals, pasta, coffee and tea - almost any long-term storage products are conveniently decomposed on glass, ceramic or metallic banks and containers with tightly closing covers. Due to this, you can immediately solve several tasks: create suitable conditions for their long safety and provide a compact and aesthetic solution for their placement. Such banks can be placed on open shelves, a tabletop or hood, at the same time, they will look aesthetic and serve as an excellent decor for the interior, without occupying a lot of space inside the cabinets.

Do not forget about additional stands

In a small kitchen, any trifle becomes important. You may have to free the space in the top cabinet for the essential items, and put the dryer for dishes on the worktop. In this case, pay attention to the compact design models, the functionality of which is well thought out, and the appearance will not spoil the interior in contrast to cheap plastic models of dubious production.

When the work surface is tight household appliances And dishes, cook becomes just nowhere. This picture is well known to the owners small kitchens. How to unload the worktop, we will still talk, but you can act from nasty. For example, add heads retractable panel instead of one thing upper boxes. The simplest script is to turn the drawer to the bottom up, strengthen the extra panel and thus get a stationary cutting board.

The lower part of the kitchen headset can also work for you. Remove the decorative panel, order a narrow pull-out drawer on the width of the module and manage it as you like. The space of 10-15 centimeters height is suitable for storing wide utensils ( festive dish, Fighting, massive covers) or it will be useful to your domestic pets. We know how you're tired of stupid about the bowl with food under your feet.

3. Cups at hand

Cups and plates are customary to put the headset in the upper sections, and the pans are in the bottom. This is a proven over the years, but not the only possible storage scenario. Look at how many cups and glasses are placed in a conventional drawer under the working surface. At the same time, all items in sight - you no longer have to get up on the tiptoe and painfully look for a favorite cup in dark bowels of the suspended cabinet.

4. What is under your sink?

Let's try to guess: pipes, garbage bucket and an ominous warehouse of household chemicals. Given the depth of the kitchen headset, you most likely forgot to be hidden by the wall, not to mention the way to climb the sink with your head and make cleaning in the corners. The simplest retractable box with low walls comes to the rescue, as in the photo. The price of components - both for two lunch in a cafe plus minimum labor costs.

Half, noise and whims, especially if there are many of them, are not always placed in a horizontal box. Exit - to organize storage vertically. It is suitable for any narrow section of the headset, such as a bottle, if it is for you to anything. To turn a narrow box to a vertical storage system, it is enough to cut in any panel of the circle on the diameter of glasses. So kitchenware It turns out at hand, and the glasses will easily take out and wash if necessary.

Board with holes "like in a garage" or metal grid - quite worthy decorative elementif it is correct to file it. Feel free to paint the board in the tint of the kitchen and hang it on the apron or the stenitude, which will be found even in the tiny room itself. Storage opportunities at such a board are almost limitless: a pair of metal hooks from the store for the house, and you can raise a frying pan, tacks and even a section for a sponge - what is enough fantasy.

One more useful idea with perforated board - lay it inside deep drawer and add vertical slats under the size of the dishes. Now here you can store not only the pans, but also ceramics: plates and saucers do not break up, even if you sharply slam the box.

Pans and lids in the kitchen often have to be separated due to the large diameter and large dimensions. All would not, but at the most inopportune moment, the couple is often lost. To collect large utensils in one place, care space for covers with a narrow pocket inside a common large drawer. With this location, you will be clearly visible to the diameter of the dishes.

10. Jump everything

On the bottom surface of the closed box or open shelves You can mount neat hooks and store coffee cups, brushes or blades on them. As practice shows, the hooks do not happen much: in our example, several systems operate in the photo.

11. Levitating jars for spices

Separate seasonings on the table top - it means to subscribe to the eternal mess: banks will fall from any random movement, and to make it elementary, it will have to shift the entire "battery" to a safe distance. It is much easier to fix them under the top line of kitchen cabinets: stick the lids and unscrew the cans themselves.

The angle of the sample headset is perhaps the most mysterious place in the kitchen. Usually, the skils that are sorry for you to throw away, although it's time for a long time, or a crazy, which you take once a year.

Hall and kitchen - two rooms that most often need cleaning. But, ready to argue, you did not design a niche for mop and other large accessories in the kitchen. It is not too late to correct the deficiency: the problem will solve a very narrow end cabinet, which organically closes the kitchen line.

14. Knives in the tabletop

Cookinists with experience advise: Before starting to cook, get not only ingredients, but also all the necessary dishes. But no matter how we tried to follow the smart recommendations, it is sure to turn out that right now you need a completely different knife and it lies in the box where you don't want to climb dirty hands.

If the tabletop material allows you to make feeds in it. To such a storage system, small children will not be completely distinguished, and the knives will always be ready. If the countertop does not succumb to processing, you can provide a special wooden insert for the knives.

If the refrigerator is not embedded in the general system of cabinets, then the space above it is most likely empty and this is a crime against ergonomics. Between the refrigerator and the ceiling, you can mount a full-fledged mezzanine with closed shelves or open sections for bottles, as in our example.

Many hostesses know: the less in the kitchen of open surfaces for storage, the easier it is to maintain order. Or at least his visibility. If you prefer practicality or in principle, do not like open storage systems - we offer you an excellent piggy bank of ideas, how to hide everything you need.

So, meet - 21 Reception with examples of the most convenient fixtures of hidden storage in the kitchen. They will help you win more space for cooking, and also make it much more nesting and prettier.

Some ideas will require enough space, so it is more suitable for spacious cuisine. But if you are not lucky with the square - for you, too, there is a lot of interesting ideas.

We included a variety of options in this collection, and, for most of them, it will not be necessary to purchase new furniture items! It will be enough to optimize already available (including those places that you would never think to use).

If you think about the purchase new KitchenThis gallery will become a source of practical finds, which will be envied by less "advanced" hostesses.

What can I store there:

• small kitchen appliances (both rare and frequently used);
• dishes and cutlery;
• spices, bulk products and other necessary in the cooking process;
• and much more.

You are ready? Then read the newest ways of hidden storage in the kitchen right now! We are confident at least a couple of ideas will be a pleasant surprise.

1. Secret locker.

Do you think this beautiful panel is from the same material as the table tops of the cabinets - decorative? Not only. She is sliding, and behind it are hiding tiny shelves with seasonings. When you need to get them easy, and the rest of the time it looks like a "kitchen apron".

2. (No) Comfortable places.

When installing the plate there are tiny space between her and the wall of the cabinet? You will be surprised, but even you can use it for storage!

It is enough to fasten the drawbar with hooks for utensils or provide a narrow section with shelves. Such an option will certainly appreciate the owners of small kitchens, where in the account every centimeter.

3. Retractable compartment for knives.

The magnetic board for knives is perhaps the wonderful invention. But what if you are crazy constantly keep sharp objects in sight? Or do you have ubiquitous children? If you want to hide knives, but at the same time have permanent access to them - make such a retractable module specifically for knives.

Important: Knives should be where you are constantly using them. The perfect solution is a narrow gap between the stove and a tab.

4. Locker with retractable panel for coffee maker and toaster.

Coffee maker and toaster - is that (in your case) should always be at hand? Arrange for this daily technician special cabinet with valve doors and retractable shelf.

For this purpose, by the way, you can re-equip the existing one. In addition to technology, there are other necessary little things there: a package or capsule with coffee, sugar and mugs.

5. Cabinet with sockets for small kitchen appliances.

Surely you infrequently use a mixer and food processor. So why do they occupy a valuable working surface? Arrange a small "garage" for small machinery - a locker, where it will be stored when not used. Make the "garage" facades in the tone of the kitchen - and no one can guess what is hidden behind these doors!

6. For narrow kitchen utensils.

Storing trays and antics for the oven because of its diversity can be a source of discomfort, if you do not find a suitable hidden storage location in the kitchen.

Highlight for them a narrow retractable section or delimite the existing wardrobe.

- A similar problem, find out all about it in our Idea Collection (50 photos).

7. Box for kitchen utensils.

Spoons, spatulas, noise - all this takes a lot of space. And not too often used. If you do not want to hang it all on the wall or there it is no longer placed - replace one of the boxes at the slab on a special cup with cups for utensils. Convenience is the same as from a similar device on the surface, but what kind of saving space!

8. Grinding shelves for corner cabinets.

Surely you have already lost your score to countless molds, saucepans and containers. However, this is not a reason to let them turn a neat kitchen in the island of Chaos.

Set to the corner formed by adjacent couches (another "dead" zone for most kitchens), spinning shelf - and admire how you can clean up once or two! In addition, there can be installed compact retractable shelves for storing a saucepan and pan.

9. Ground boxes.

Usually, a small space remains between the bottom of the floor cabinet and the floor, which is not used in any way. Meanwhile, it is enough to accommodate small utensils.
